I am begging the Warrior Cats, DC comics, and Danny Phantom fandoms to learn the difference between "rogue" and "rouge."
Normally I don't really care too much about misspellings on the internet. Language is fluid and use changes conventions, bla bla bla. This is a pet peeve I'm apparently never gonna get over, though.
The letter combo "ge" often makes a soft "j" or "zh" sound. Like in beige, garage, general, gouge, etc. But because English has borrowed things from many languages, this rule isn't consistent.
The letter combo "gu" results in a hard "g" consonant. As in guerilla, Prague, dialogue, penguin, guess, etc.
As an aside, this is how you know how to pronounce the two different Gs in "language" because they follow this rule exactly.
Therefore, "rouge" is pronounced "rüzh" and refers to a red color, typically a cosmetic for one's cheeks (aka blush). Also the name of the DC villain Madame Rouge.
Conversely, "rogue" is pronounced "rōg" with a hard G and refers to an independent, uncontrollable, aberrant individual who acts outside the strictures of society, often in an unlawful manner. This is the word I most often see misspelled.
So please remember, if the G is in front of a U you don't need to *guess* how it's pronounced, but if you get mixed up you might end up blushing!

Barbara Gordon and Young Charles Xavier fighting with dual lightsabers on their wheelchair, Batman and Wolverine arguing like soccer moms. The batfam sharing a drink with the X Men. And SOMEHOW, Nightwing found a way to know someone here. It's ANOTHER UNIVERSE DICK.

Hey, something good always comes out of the bad...And they'll never find the love that we had...Living each day as if it was our last...
Oh...We can run away in the night...Just say when, 'cause I am ready to die...

My illustration for @roguetimebot's wonderful story for the “Home & Harbor" Rogue and Gambit fanzine @rogue-gambit-fan-zine. I had fun doing a proper curly-haired Rogue for this one. 💖
